Bobby and Peter Farrelly's The Three Stooges is not particularly great, though it is possibly brilliant, a picture that goes beyond homage to become its own rambunctious invention — it's one big eye-poke, with footnotes.

My goal for the reunion: Keep it real but "speak only when spoken to" and only on issues concerning me or a scene I was involved in. (Unlike last years reunion.)
Last reunion I was brutally honest to the point that I said things that were not my place to say, because I was angry. I crossed the line a few times when I just should have stayed quiet. When I hear people lying to or about me, it hurts and angers me and I start calling people out. After I saw what that looked like last reunion, I decided I would not let that happen again, and I would have more self-control over my emotions in the future. I was very proud of how I stayed quiet this reunion and didn't throw in my 2 cents.
Let me make something clear. I love Kathy. I think she is such a genuine, loving, nurturing, unselfish person. When I was pretending not to be paying attention to her scene, it was a complete joke! I was teasing Kathy, because during this season it seemed like Kathy wasn't being heard, and not getting the time, attention, and respect that she deserved from all of us, because Kathy is always there for all of us. Rosie even pointed that out to all of us during the season. I was completely being silly at the reunion and making a joke out of it. I'm sorry if it was taken the wrong way by some of you. I would never intentionally hurt Kathy. I love her and her family very much. Kathy knows that. I just wanted to clear that up.

Sage, the FTSE 100 accounting software group, has apologised to customers for glitches in the latest version of its Line 50 package, and promised that it is doing all it can to solve the problems.
A number of Sage users have contacted Accountancy Age to complain about problems with Sage Line 50 2007. Users have said that the reporting side of the software does not work at all, and have also complained that the patches to solve problems are too big and take too long to download.
Greg Ford, managing director of the Sage accountants division, acknowledged that Sage had encountered problems with the latest version of Line 50, but promised that Sage was doing all it could to solve the problems.
'I must apologise to customers for the problems they have encountered. We have done all we can to resolve the problems. Line 50 has a fantastic track record, and it is upsetting and frustrating when things go wrong' said Ford.
Ford said the problems with Line 50 2007 were a result of new enhancements to the package. More powerful reporting features were added to Line 50 2007. This is where the problems cropped up.
'There was a significant change with the introduction of this new technology. We wanted to make Line 50 2007 a better product, but the technology has gone against us. We a responding well and I am proud of the way we are putting it right,' he said.
Ford said Sage had written to all the accounting practices and business partners that had experienced problems, and had made patches available on the web for customers who had experienced problems.

Walking (Thoreau)
"Walking" is an essay written by Henry David Thoreau. Between 1851 and 1860 Thoreau read the piece a total of ten times, more than any other of his lectures. He considered it one of his seminal works, so much so, that he once wrote of the lecture, "I regard this as a sort of introduction to all that I may write hereafter." Thoreau constantly reworked and revised the piece throughout the 1850s, calling the essay "Walking." Also at this time he was working on another piece called "The Wild." Sometimes he would deliver one of the essays, while at other times he would read the other. Sometimes he would combine the two and call it, "Walking; or, The Wild." "Walking" was published posthumously after Thoreau's death on May 6, 1862. It appeared in the June 1862 issue of the Atlantic Monthly.
It is the source of the quote:
" | In Wilderness is the preservation of the world. | " |
Along with Ralph Waldo Emerson's Nature, and George Perkins Marsh's "Man and Nature", it has become one of the most important essays in the environmental movement.
Relationship between civilization and wilderness...Thoreau neither rejected civilization nor fully embraced wilderness. Instead he sought a middle ground, the pastoral realm that integrates both nature and civilization.
In the essay, "Walking," by Henry David Thoreau, one of the "Seven Elements in Nature Writing," which is continuous throughout the entire essay, is the philosophy of nature. Thoreau begins his three-part essay by referring to human's role in nature "as an inhabitant, or a part or parcel of Nature." He later criticizes members of society for their lack of such a relationship with nature. Furthermore, Thoreau also uses an experience from his own life to represent a personal account in nature, more specifically his experiences while walking into the forest near his property. Socioeconomic politics can be seen in this essay when Thoreau analyzes building development as a taming and cheapening of the landscape. Thoreau brings the reader into a spiritual realm when he associates the divinity of nature and the spirit of walking with Christianity and Greek Mythology. In addition, when describing the Mississippi River, Thoreau describes the river as a kind of enchanted Holy Land.
Throughout all parts of the essay, including Thoreau's description of an ecological psychology and philosophy on nature, the use of figurative language is prevalent. Before one can truly become a Walker, one must be prepared to "send our embalmed hearts only, as relics to our desolate kingdoms" (Thoreau 1). Thoreau uses a simile to describe a village with roads springing from it as a lake with rivers springing from it. He also uses rhetorical questions and hypophoras to impact the reader; after describing the mythological wonders Thoreau sees while witnessing a sunset, he uses a rhetorical question to challenge the reader about whether they have looked at the sunset without imagining the mythological wonders themselves.
This essay is divided into three distinct parts. One commonality in this reading is that each part relates nature to being good and each part provides a piece of poetry to help illustrate this. In the first part the reader, who is probably the general public, develops a sense of inferiority. The author asserts that the kind of relationship he has with nature is one that is innate. In part two, the author speaks of nature as magical and criticizes the negative effects American society has had on the environment. In the third part, Thoreau leaves us stimulating our sensitivity toward the existence of nature and the spirituality it beholds. The structuring of the essay into three parts is effective in progressively showing that walking goes beyond the physical activity, but into an appreciation of nature.
Concerning Thoreau's stance, this essay seems to arise out of the author's negative view of American society, and is an attempt to open-up the reader's sensitivity toward nature. At times he seems like a preacher at mass, using personal experiences with nature and relating those experiences to a higher being. The author effectively influences the reader to believe he or she is part of a Holy Land; the Holy Land has a personality, much like that of the reader. However, if the reader only sees nature to be instrumentally valuable, this reading may not be very effective in addressing the ecological effects of environmental degradation.
"I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom and wildness, as contrasted with a freedom and culture merely civil—to regard man as an inhabitant, or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than a member of society".
"Let me live where I will, on this side is the city, on that the wilderness, and ever I am leaving the city more and more, and withdrawing into the wilderness".
"Ben Jonson exclaims: 'How near to good is what is fair.' So I would say: 'How near to good is what is wild.'"
"Here is this vast, savage, hovering mother of ours, Nature, lying all around, with such beauty, and such affection for her children, as the leopard; and yet we are so early weaned from her breast to society, to that culture which is exclusively an interaction of man on man"...
"So we saunter toward the Holy Land, till one day the sun shall shine more brightly than ever he has done, shall perchance shine into our minds and hearts, and light up our whole lives with a great awakening light, as warm and serene and golden as on a bankside in autumn".

The LA Times reports that Iger is looking more and more like a possible replacment for Eisner.
For some reason I'm getting chills up and down my spine. Another 15 years of team Eisner on the way?
Your thoughts?
I say give Bob Iger a chance at running Disney without Michael Eisner in the driving seat.Whats the worst that could happen?
Well, you could get another 15 years of budget cuts and sub par attractions and movies, for starters. Eisner's retirement is a chance for Disney to breath new life and excitement into the company. Iger is status quo.Originally Posted by Malin
But who knows, perhaps he is some sort of miracle worker who just didn't know how to stand up to Eisner.
I think Roy and Stan will make a big fuss if Iger is named.... Would be interesting.
Just a few more months until we find out! :devil:
Iger goes either way? I think I know someone who would like to date him for insider info. :devil:Originally Posted by Evil Minion
I have zero read on Iger. So does Wall St, best I can tell.
That alone is reason to think the Board may not go with him. Wall St. needs to be comforted. Forget Disney parks. There are billions of dollars of shareholder value at stake here.

Bob Iger is married to ex CNN reporter and former print model Willow Bay. They have a couple of kids.Dating may be a long shot
If Iger ends up running it you will have business as usual and Eisner as Mini Me. Right now Matt is getting DL into shape and Pressler is gone, so what's not to like?
Be optimistic..someone is painting something somewhere in the park while we read this.. :-)
"As usual he's taken over the coolest spot in the house"- Father re: Orville 1963
[FONT=Arial Narrow]
True. But the WDC is a business and im frankly shocked that they have spent as much as they have on DL with little return.It's great. Orville thinks Eisner is trying to quickly clean things up and turn everything around so no one would ever want him gone. The company would be doing too well. Basically the whole theme park business model is in the dumps. they need to reinvent the business so it can maintain itself. We love that Matt..
"As usual he's taken over the coolest spot in the house"- Father re: Orville 1963
[FONT=Arial Narrow]
I'm shocked that they didn't do more sooner. Neglect has led to deaths on rides, trees falling over in on stage areas, leaky roofs, and god only knows what else that we aren't aware of.Originally Posted by Cousin Orville
As for little in return. Disneyland was the second most visited park in the world last year.
Having a puppet CEO (or dictator, if you will) Disney would be not so good for the company. Having a pencil pusher in charge is very bad for the company.
They need to have a balanced team looking out for both the artistic and financial aspects of the company.
Kick out Mikey, bring in Steve Jobs, and the company will be saved. Then Steve can begin the process of repairing all the burned bridges left in Eisner's wake.
Anything listed on the park maps as an attraction is fair game for inclusion in the Rally.
I cannot confirm nor deny the inclusion of any attraction in the Rally.
May the Gumballs Be with You...Always.
Iger has image problems, in a big way. He is seen as either a puppet, or cronie, a wallflower, etc. Nothing that really stands out, and definitely not seen as a strong leader. He's spent too much time kissing the boss's behind to stand out as a viable candidate. People would be very suspicious if he was picked- he's got the stench of Eisner on him.
hello no....... What we need is someone who works for the fun of it.. you know how Steve jobs takes little cash... what a dollar a month or day to work as CEO of pixar and Apple... howabout Disney to... Apple can become Disney's official computer in what 8 years... (HP still has a contract..)
Imagine of what he could do with the company....

Cloud Computing to Redefine Fundamental Role of Middle East CIO, shows Brocade Research
Role to be more strategic, operational and consultancy oriented as opposed to current IT infrastructure administration
January 28, 2013 8:56 by Colin_Saldanha
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates; January 27, 2013 – According to research commissioned by Brocade that surveyed 100 Chief Information Officers (CIOs) from across Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), the role of CIOs will undergo a fundamental and drastic change leading up to the year 2020. The IT administrative role will evolve into policy enforcement, technology evangelism and mediation between business units and IT service providers by 2020.
As cloud computing gathers increasing momentum, market research and advisory company IDC projects cloud spending in the UAE to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 43.7% over the five-year forecast period ending in 2016), operational structures within organizations are undergoing transformation. Democratization of IT will see the ownership of cloud deployments and IT procurement processes moving from the responsibility of the IT department to that of the various business units that require such services. This will be the main driver of the evolution of CIO's functionality.
Sufian Dweik, regional manager, MEMA at Brocade says, "No longer will the role of the CIO be restricted to basic IT administrative functions, but his role will merge with that of the COO as he takes on a strategic operational role and broader responsibilities. As the onus of outsourcing IT services will rest with the business units without engaging the IT department, the CIO will be less involved with the 'nuts and bolts' of the IT infrastructure, but will play consultant and mediator."
Interestingly, more than a third of the CIOs surveyed confirmed that cloud services had been deployed by business units in their organizations without the involvement of IT, and two thirds see business units procuring cloud resources by themselves much more by 2020.
"There are a couple of challenges that CIOs are faced with in the above scenario. Firstly if Service Level Agreements (SLA's) do not meet minimum requirements, the consequences could be disastrous. Secondly, the underlying business-critical network, which 'enables' all business communications, activities and transactions, could be under considerable strain as it becomes difficult to predict bandwidth requirements and data volumes. The possibility of network downtime, productivity and business loss and compliance issues become an increasing reality."
Dweik further stresses the business-critical aspect of the corporate network infrastructure and says that it needs to be agile, resilient, future proof and scalable so that it can handle spikes in data volumes and traffic. "CIOs need to work closely with infrastructure vendors to ensure that they have the latest infrastructure in place or the consequences can be significant and financially damaging," he says.
The CIOs role of policy development and enforcement arises with the increasing uptake of mobile devices and the growing Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend. Security and regulatory compliance issues will need to be combated with appropriate risk management strategy. An interesting insight from the Brocade survey shows CIOs believe that BYOD will not lead to the death of the 'physical office' as we know it, but 'hot-desking' will increase in popularity.

Fantastic book! Helped me to correctly identify (and remedy!) several problems in my garden this summer, including a magnesium deficiency, mealy cabbage aphids, and white fly. Has also helped me to better understand what insects are "pests" and which are beneficial. The structure of the book is exceptional and very easy to use.

3 Steps to Getting Over a Breakup
1. Remember to love your ex as though he or she is your good friend. It's easy to fall into the rut of anger and wishing ill will onto your ex, but the only person this really hurts is yourself. It's true going through some feelings of anger does serve a purpose in that it is part of the process of getting over someone. You need to feel all the emotions. But falling into a rut of one thing or another, meaning sadness or anger that persists over a longer period of time does you more harm than good. Stop punishing you ex. Instead, try wishing them the best luck in life. Try to be happy for them. Wish them happiness in success in whatever it is they are doing, and in their lives. Send them love.
2. Remember that everyone has a different path in life. You and your ex came together because there was an attraction, perhaps a common interest, or common goals. But this does not mean, that you and your partner must stay together forever. Think about the lessons you have learned from the relationship. Think about the differences that came up that brought the two of you to the impasse that lead to the breakup. Everything does happen for a reason, or this is a blessing in disguise, however you decide to look at it, the truth of the matter is that this is a big learning lesson for you and if utilized will provide a giant leap in terms of personal growth.
3. Take a closer look at yourself. In the end you need to nourish yourself, before someone else can. You are in charge and are the creator of having an amazing great life, something you had before your partner. Sure your partner was the icing on the cake but only because of your own greatness you already endeavor to be. Instead of allowing yourself to go down a path of self destruction and self hate, why not remind yourself, in fact go ahead, make a list of all the great qualities you possess, that not only make you a great partner, but a great individual as well. Post it on your refrigerator or by your desk, somewhere you are sure to see it everyday, or as often as needed.
Again, I am not suggesting you should repress your feelings of anger, sadness, guilt or any other emotions. A breakup is real, and mourning the loss of the relationship is definitely needed to move on, so do accept and feel your feelings. But, also remember that wallowing in that anger, sadness or self pity can be destructive for you and no one else, so when you can, do muster up the strength repeat these 3 steps above as often as needed.

A True Gem Minutes from the City Centre
This apartment is a modern, elegant fit for one or two people; wonderful amenities, modern fully equipped kitchen, very comfortable bedroom / mattress, indoor parking, large flat screen TV. Nothing was amiss. Would not hesitate to stay here again!
great value rental!
my husband and I stayed here for 2 weeks while we were working at the Jube. Great apartment with a full kitchen. It is in the basement but it gets quite a bit of light due to large windows in the living room, kitchen, and bedroom. (the kitchen window doesn't open). washer and dryer in the hallway near the apartment door are very convenient. Arie and Elisha were very attentive and wonderful to deal with.

#TBT: Here's Diane Von Furstenberg Wearing An Absolutely Enormous Wig
Along with heading up her namesake label, Diane von Furstenberg is the president of the CFDA and tops Forbes' Most Powerful Women list. She also created the iconic jersey wrap dress and says you can go topless until you're 40. A fashion legend, von Furstenberg has been photographed by the most well-known names in the business, from Ron Galella to Francesco Scavullo for her 1976 Newsweek cover.
This photograph, which appeared in a February 1974 issue of Vogue, is in our opinion perhaps one of the best. The designer looks stunning, wearing a halter dress from her own collection and a simple necklace—and a so-big-you-can't-miss-it wig. There's just something about the '70s-era drama of it all that is too good to miss.

At an open air market near Prague's Old Town, I happened on a booth where they were selling "kolacé." These big round pastries looked like fruit pizzas. The cherry version was amazing. I guess these are the Old Country version of Texas kolaches.
While we were working on the Food Lover's Guide to Houston at Houstonia Magazine, I fondly recalled my first purchases of Patricia Wells' Food Lover's Guide to Paris (1984), and Food Lover's Guide to France (1987). Those two wildly successful guidebooks created a genre that inspired dozens of "Food Lover's Guides" to various places [...] By guest blogger Katie Walsh I spent some time in Houston with my dad On A Meat Mission, to learn about meat and how it's cooked. Over the next several weeks we'll be sharing recipes and tales from our meaty adventures. A few weeks ago, I was oblivious to the French-style "tasting menu" trend sweeping the restaurant scene. Riding around Houston with Dad, he broke it down for me (as he does in this month's Houstonia review of his birthday dinner at Tony's); its degustation origins, its surge in popularity, its delights, and the outcries it's inspired. On this night, he'd made reservations for just the two of us at the tasting menu half of Seth Siegel-Gardner and Terrence Gallivan's The Pass & Provisions. As we walked through Provisions to get to The Pass, I couldn't help noticing that the former seemed like the place to be. Big groups, lots of laughter, colorful outfits and characters. The hostess pushed all of her weight into the far wall as we followed and it gave, an entire solid section sliding back like a hidden passageway, revealing the entrance to the quieter, dimmer, intimate dining room of The Pass. The first morsel to hit our table was an off-menu amuse-bouche, a wildly shaped dehydrated shrimp chip served in a rough stone pedestal, like an artwork. Translucent and flecked with bits of Japanese shichimi togarashi spice and black sesame seed, it burst with flavor and then almost melted in the mouth. Then the tasting officially began. We each went with the full eight-course menu. 1. "Snacks" Oyster on the half shell, simple and clean with a vibrant mignonette and small sprig of fennel; Old Fashioned cocktail "foie gras" ("It's like a jello shot!" said Dad) and a Pocky stick coated in white chocolate and dehydrated black olive, which worked way better than I expected, sweet and salty and crunchy. The standout of this course was a warm, pureed shot of green soup topped with a hearty dose of orange foam, made from nasturtium—all the way from its green leaves to its orange flowers. Herbal, floral, beautifully spiced and a lovely taste of comfort next to all the snacks. I took baby sips of mine, savoring every bit. read more Dining with Dad: The Pass, Taste-By-Taste » By guest blogger Katie Walsh I spent some time in Houston with my dad On A Meat Mission, to learn about meat and how it's cooked. Over the next several weeks we'll be sharing recipes and tales from our meaty adventures. Taking a break from the kitchen and riding along with Dad on various stops around town, I gasped at a familiar sight as we made our way down Hillcroft. "HOT BREADS!" I said, wiggling my eyebrows up and down at him. He obliged, pulling into the parking lot as I eagerly unbuckled my seatbelt. It's hard to believe that it's been nearly ten years since my sister Julia and I sampled the Euro-Indian fusion fare of this spicy bakery for a story Dad was working on. The "goat doughnuts," as we'd affectionately dubbed their curry goat croissants, looked just as tasty as ever. Hot Breads is so dang cool because of the story it tells about fusion food and blending cultures. An Indian marketing professor returned to Madras after living abroad to open this European-style cafe and bakery, but instead of putting pepperoni on the pizza and ham in the croissants, he went with the popular ingredients of Southern India, creating a cross-cuisine hit. Hot Breads franchises became hugely popular on the subcontinent. Then in a baffling turnabout, franchisees took the concept to the NRI (non-resident Indian) community and all over the world. The huge Indian populations in Houston and New Jersey were easy targets. Which is how we ended up with a Indian-owned, European-inspired bakery in Houston serving Indo-Chinese "chilli chicken puffs." No wonder John T. Edge labeled Houston "Mutt City." Aside from the savory stuff, Hot Breads sells a ton of great cakes and cookies too, including egg-free stuff for the Jain crowd (and the vegans!). My all-time, hands-down, indisputable favorite is the mango gâteau (about halfway down the row in the picture). Dreamily light and airy, its layers of lady finger and fluffy mousse burst with sweet, tangy fresh mango flavor. All those years ago, it was love at first bite. "You're gonna have to share," Dad warns me as I watch the woman box it up. These days, the baby sibs are just as fond of Hot Breads mango cake. read more Mutt City: Hot Breads and Himalaya Sweets » By guest blogger Katie Walsh I spent some time in Houston with my dad On A Meat Mission, to learn about meat and how it's cooked. Over the next several weeks we'll be sharing recipes and tales from our meaty adventures. With a fridge full of fresh daikon pickles, the next lesson on Dad's list was wild duck. And what better to do with wild duck than make a big pot of gumbo? We opened Texas Eats to Chapter 5: The Cajun Invasion and read through a recipe from Jim Gossen. It called for 6 wild ducks—the exact number we had on hand. As they defrosted, I asked my dad whether they were hard to clean—ours seemed ready to go except for one feathery wing still attached. He explained that usually, a kid at the hunting site charged a couple bucks each to clean them for you, stripping them down to the breast (where most of the meat is) and throwing the rest aside. One wing had to remain in tact so that the game warden could identify the breed. So the first step was to chop it off. Lots of teeny feathers had plastered themselves to the clean meat, so after that I carefully plucked them clean, rinsing each bird under water to make sure they were fuzz free. We seasoned the duck breasts inside and out with Cajun seasoning. Then, we covered them with water in a big pot to get the stock started. Cooking wild duck takes forever. It's very lean, and very tough, so in order to get it nice and tender you really have to be patient. It would usually take 3-4 hours, but lucky for us we had a pressure cooker, which took it down to a quick 30 minutes. We lifted them out, replaced them with a whole chicken, and topped off the pot with water. The chicken would continue to flavor the stock and also tone down the strong gamey flavor of all that duck. Once they were cool enough to handle, I broke the duck breasts away from the bone and pulled the meat apart. We did the same with the chicken. Meanwhile, we made a copper penny-colored roux and cooled it down with the holy trinity (onions, green pepper and celery) and a couple of minced garlic cloves. We seasoned the roux with white pepper, red pepper, dried thyme, and a little more Cajun seasoning. Then we added the roux a little at a time to our stock to thicken it. Finally, we added all that chopped pulled poultry meat. To serve it, we would mound rice in the middle of a soup bowl, slide a couple of raw, shucked oysters and then ladle in some hot gumbo. But duck gumbo is one of those dishes that tastes better after a few days in the fridge. So we stowed it away in anticipation of the big party we'd started to plan for the coming weekend. It was time for a little lunch, anyway. read more Katie's Meat Series: Wild Duck Gumbo » By guest blogger Katie Walsh I spent some time in Houston with my dad On A Meat Mission, to learn about meat and how it's cooked. Over the next several weeks we'll be sharing recipes and tales from our meaty adventures. Strangely enough, the first step on our meat program was pickling daikon. Dad has a small, raised-bed organic garden in back of the house that was overflowing with daikon radishes. (Thanks to gardening guru Jim Sherman for suggesting that we plant daikon this year!) Inspired by the julienned pickled daikon served on Vietnamese bánh mì sandwiches, Dad had experimented with several recipes. The most successful were radishes cut into thin coins. He said he asked Kelly (my step-mom) to taste them and she proceeded to kill a whole jar in one sitting. They rock. We'd planned on making a venison pâté, and thought that daikon pickles would taste great with it. Plus those babies were just dying to be harvested. First ya pull 'em out. Grab down by the base, near the ground. Then ya wash 'em off. We had a big bowl of water we dunked them into. Cut the tops off, give 'em one more rinse and throw them in a clean bowl. Now it's time to put 'em up. read more Pickled Daikon: Meat's Perfect Pal » By guest blogger Katie Walsh A few weeks ago, my departing editor at WhiskedFoodie.com gave me some last words of advice: "You've been neglecting meat! Don't forget to include some good meaty dishes in your recipe repertoire." "Dang, she's right," I thought. I used to make a conscious effort to develop meat recipes, which I myself don't eat much of, but in recent months I'd fallen off. In fact I couldn't think of the last meat recipe I'd done. So I started thinking a lot about meat. Why had I been avoiding it? My own eating preferences aside, a bit of introspection revealed I was actually kind of scared of cooking meat. So many different cuts and grades, dry heat and moist heat and internal temperatures…I was intimidated. As I thought back on my cooking experience, I realized I'd always shyed away from meat, delegating it to the men in my life or sticking to "safe" stuff like ground turkey and boneless skinless chicken breasts. It was time to light up the grill and change all that. And who better to guide me down the meaty path than the Texas BBQ and Tex-Mex king, my very own pops? He was delightedly surprised to hear about my newfound interest in carne and gladly agreed to be my meat mentor. And so began a very protein-rich week of learning, tasting, and bonding over bones, burgers, and more. |

Portugal > Produtos de Protecção Pessoal e meio-ambiente > Soldadura > Perguntas Frequentes Soldadura
Q: Are Speedglas™ Auto-Darkening Welding Filters as safe as traditional filters? A: Yes. Speedglas filters always provide UV/IR protection for your eyes, whether they are turned on or off, dark or transparent. They're potentially safer than traditional filters and helmets since the Speedglas helmet can always be in the down position, protecting your face and eyes. Plus, your hands are not preoccupied with constant visor adjustment. Q: What happens if the battery fails? A: To repeat: you're always protected from damaging UV/IR radiation. And no matter what, your eyes are always shaded from flash. When you pick up an OFF Speedglas filter, it's intermediately-shaded. When you turn on the filter, it "lightens" and becomes transparent. When an arc is struck, the filter darkens. (The dark shade level depends upon which Speedglas model is used.) Q: Do you see any of the arc flash? A: No. The filter changes too quickly for the eye to see a flash. The transition from no arc to arc occurs without a perceptible flash. Q: Who determines the safety standards for welding filters? A: There are authorising bodies for different parts of the world. Europe: CE EN 379 standards. USA: ANSI Z87.1 (http://www.ansi.org/). Canada: CSA Z94.3 standards (http://www.csa.ca/). Australia: AS/NZS 1338 standards. Q: Are the Speedglas™ Welding Filters fragile? A: No more than traditional filters. All Speedglas filters have inner and outer replaceable protection plates. The filter is recessed back into the helmet for further protection. You can treat the heat- and chemical-resistant nylon helmet very much like any other welding helmet. Q: Why do Speedglas™ Filters and Helmets cost more than traditional filters and helmets? A: 3M uses state-of-the-art electronics and super lightweight materials to provide the optimum productive, comfortable, and safe helmet/filter combination available. The filter itself is a seven-layer laminate, hand-assembled under clean room conditions, with numerous quality assurance checks. The result is a flawless filter that always lets you see your work. Q: Are the Speedglas™ Welding Filters compatible with non-Speedglas helmets? A: No. The high performance and optical clarity of Speedglas filters requires a special design that is not compatible with non-Speedglas helmets. You should never attempt to mix any Speedglas products with non-Speedglas components; doing so may void your product warranty and could result in serious bodily injury. Q: My shade 11 Speedglas™ Filter appears to be a different dark shade compared to my old conventional filter. Why? A: Different manufacturers (whether they are making conventional or auto-darkening filters) can have noticeable differences in filter shading, while still conforming to the international safety standards for welding filters. We recommend that you try the shade level you're used to, as well as the models above and below that level (for the above example, try the 10, 11 and 12 shade models). Or go with the Speedglas 9002V or 9002X filters, both of which have user-selectable dark shades of 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13.

well... talon is my favorite but you don't see my asking him if he's in love or anything. But that's just me. ANYWHO, Riven; What is your favorite thing to do as soon as you wake up. ( just thought I'd break the silence)
Ask Riven
That's a good idea, but I fear that if I were to do that I would pull something. What do you do for training?
Junior Member
Dear Miss Riven, I was once a fighter in that God forsaken battleground they call The Fleshing. It all began when I was a little boy, hiding outside the great cities with my father. We were a simple family, nothing special about me, but something was strange about my father. I would often catch him practising with a very strange looking sword. Long, curved and jagged... Cruel looking thing, but the way he weilded it made it look like the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, such power and grace.... One day I was spying on him while he practised, when I heard this blood curling roar. From behind me came a large furry creature, vaguely wolf-like in nature. The thing took a swipe at me with blinding speed and sent me reeling to the side and landed in a heap, blood flowing from a gash along my chest. Most of the fight I spent struggling to move and run, but something kept me rivitted to the spot... Fear maybe... I remember seeing my father standing infront of me, protecting me from this thing, then it all went black as I passed out. When I came to the beast was dead, impaled in the chest with the sword, but... So was my father... Ever since that day I trained like he did, mastering the blade. Learning from what I saw my father doing... It was a day like any other, practising with my blade. When I was ambushed by Noxians... When I had came to I was being dragged into this large arena looking thing, the stench of blood and death was strong. They threw me inside and closed a metal gate behind me, leaving me my sword. Well im going to skip past all that and get to the point, I killed about 13 men, some looked like seasoned fighters, some farmhands. Well by that time I had managed to trick one of the guards to letting me out of the ring for a moment. I killed him and managed to barely escape with my life. Ever since then I have sworn to kill every Noxian ******* alive, and make them suffer at the hands of death. Feel the steel of my blade, "Harbinger". But then I met you... It was during a battle in which I had joined the side opposing the Noxians, bandits, outlaws. I seen you across the field swinging your sword with such grace and beauty, it reminded me of my father.... We met in battle, but only for a few seconds. With a quick slash and a parry we engaged eachother, a look of surprise in your eyes when I blocked your sword and made a fast counter and slashed you across the chest. But quickly that look was replaced by a black abyss, death is all I saw... My death... With a lunge you had struck me down, clean through my stomach. Or so you thought. When I saw your blade coming I had moved at the last second and managed to divert most the damage, but you still struck my side tearing me open. I fell to the ground bleeding profusely from my wound, slowly losing conciousness. When I came to all I could think about was you, Riven. And how you weilded that sword of yours so gracefully and precise, power and passion all combined into swing after deadly swing. My father had a wife and a daughter once, she was born with white hair, just like yours. But they were separated a long time ago, I know not why but that my father never gave up the hope he would find her one day. My question to you is, are we related... Could you be my sister I lost...? Im sorry for such a long letter Miss Riven but I felt you needed to know some of my past so maybe it could help you piece together our possible kinship. Thankyou for taking time to read this, I hope you reply soon. Sincerely, Sir Raevan
Kermit The Fraud
Dear Riven, Why is your voice actress so dayum sexy?
Riven, what do you think about a possible Rivenroth costume they want you to wear? Would it upset you or would you be honored to have an outfit that makes you look like the One-Winged Angel?

Cabernet's High End Proves Merely Ordinary
A quest for deals finds no throwaway wines—but few great values, either
As we wrote two weeks ago, we spent our summer vacation trying to find out for ourselves if it's true that there are INCREDIBLE VALUES on high-end American wines because there's such an oversupply. In terms of Chardonnay, the answer, sadly, is no, so we turned our attention to Cabernet Sauvignon.
First, let's say this: There are indeed great values on wine today. As we've been saying for a long time now, with or without a recession, the shelves are full of well-priced and well-made wines from all over the world: Malbec from Argentina, Muscadet from France, Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile, rosés from Spain and more. In addition, because of economic hard times, the prices on some wines have dropped into good-value territory. One example, which we wrote about a few weeks ago, is 2005 midrange Bordeaux.
It's also true that, if you're patient and very watchful, you might find some bargains at wine stores that are trying to move some inventory. We recently stumbled across a 1985 Warre's Port for $27, a world-class bargain because a more-common price is about $100.
But one reason that Port was on sale is because it's Port, which isn't terribly popular in the U.S. We have also seen very good deals on things like Gewürztraminer from Alsace, which is always a hard sell, though we love it. Even Burgundy from the fine 2005 vintage can be a good deal these days, since most Americans don't regularly shop for, say, Savigny-lès-Beaune. In other words, what we're seeing is the equivalent of a car company lowering prices on its less-popular models while holding the line on vehicles that most people actually want, or at least have wanted in the past.
The Dow Jones Expensive Cabernet Index
In a tasting of American Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2005 vintage that cost between $50 and $75, these were our favorites. We generally drink fine Cabernet with simple yet elegant meals, such as steak or a roast, to let the wine show off its complexity. These will generally age well for at least a few years. Prices on these wines are not nearly as flexible as we would have guessed. As we also discovered when we shopped for bargains on expensive Chardonnay, we sometimes spotted these online for low prices and then, when we ordered them, found that they weren't actually available. It reminded us of John's father, who always used to say: "Gas stations can afford to post low prices when they're closed."
Antica (Antinori Family Estate) (Napa Valley).
$50*. Very Good/Delicious Best of tasting (tie) and best value. Looks delicious—dark and pretty—and smells delicious, too, with roasted blackberries and blueberries, minerals, plums and other very ripe, dark fruits. Even a hint of black olive. Serious wine, with good acidity, fine fruit-oak balance and a very long, blackberry finish. A wine of breeding. Could age beautifully.
Duckhorn Vineyards (Napa Valley).
$65*. Very Good/Delicious. Best of tasting (tie). Smells crisp and structured and indeed it is. Juicy and nicely restrained. Quite elegant and beautifully made. Regal instead of brawny. Calls out for the sweet juice of a rare steak. Duckhorn's Merlot is a winner, too, and this is 25% Merlot.
B.R. Cohn Winery 'Olive Hill Estate Vineyards' (Sonoma Valley).
$50. Very Good. Old favorite. Intense, tight and ageable, with good structure, a bit of tobacco on the nose and a nice hint of minerals. Ripe fruit and good balance.
Goldschmidt Vineyard 'Vyborny Vineyard' (Alexander Valley).
$60*. Very Good. A big, soulful mouthful of rich, dark fruit, but then a remarkably restrained, dry finish, with minerals and some strong black tea that leaves you wanting another sip. Beautifully made and proud.
Mount Eden Vineyards (Estate Bottled, Santa Cruz Mountains).
$54.99. Very Good. Sun-ripened blackberries and sage on the nose, along with some cedar and sandalwood. Classy taste, with black cherries and bittersweet chocolate and good, spiky acidity.
Barnett Vineyards (Spring Mountain District, Napa Valley).
$54.99. Good/Very Good. Thoughtfully made and interesting. A highly personal wine, with big, soul-satisfying fruit. Not as complex as we'd hope, but we like the vision.
--Note: Wines are rated on a scale that ranges: Yech, OK, Good, Very Good, Delicious and Delicious! These are the prices we paid at stores in California, Illinois, New Jersey and New York. *We paid $59.99 for Antica and Duckhorn and $57.59 for Goldschmidt, but these prices appear more representative. Prices vary widely.
Despite big gains for imported wines over the past decade, about three-fifths of wine drunk by Americans is made in California. Americans are comfortable with the tastes, the names and the pronunciation, not to mention that it's nice to support a wonderful, home-grown industry. What this has meant, though, is that American wines—and especially California wines and especially the most popular varietals, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot—are generally not priced to move. They move anyway. But we keep reading that the higher end of the market is dead and that Americans are only buying cheaper stuff.
That should mean bargains. So we went searching for value in the high-end Cabernet aisle. After scouring shelves both in person and online, we decided to focus on the very good 2005 vintage because it's widely available even though many 2006 wines have been released. It would seem to us that wineries would have worked to keep prices in check and that stores would be eager to sell the 2005s. We set our price target at $50 to $75, with an idea that we should be able to find Cabernets at that price, which isn't inexpensive by any means, that were really worth more, perfect for a special occasion.
Cabernet Sauvignon is the world's classic red-wine grape, the grape of great Bordeaux and America's most famous wines. Top American wineries generally want to be judged by their best Cabernet or, in some cases, their Cabernet-based proprietary blend. It wasn't that long ago—though it sure seems long ago—that even wineries with no track record priced their Cabernets above $100 for fear that the wines wouldn't be taken seriously otherwise. Back then, we found few that were actually worth $100. But with today's economy, we wondered if maybe that $100 wine is $50 now and worth every penny. To find out, we collected more than 50 Cabernets from four states. We bought wines from well-known names and more-obscure wineries. Inevitably, most were from California and most of those were from Napa and Sonoma. We tasted them in blind flights over several nights. After our initial tasting and discussion of each, we rated it and then returned a while later to retaste and revisit our ratings, since these are still young wines.
As always, we were not looking to declare "America's best Cabernet" or to make a list of wines to look for or avoid at the store. Rather, we were trying to frame a big picture: If you spend big bucks on a Cabernet these days, are you likely to find good value?
Overall, they were pretty good. We were angry after our tasting of Chardonnay, because we found too many of those wines stupid and insulting—bad, thoughtless wines made for profit, not passion. We felt that way about few of the Cabernets. Whether we liked them or not, it was clear that they were not throwaway wines. American wineries clearly still hold Cabernet in the esteem it deserves and don't feel they can make a mockery of this grape as they have done too often with Chardonnay, and with lower-end Cabernet, for that matter.
But we found few good values. The wines were technically fine and we were pleased with the fruit and minerality of many of them, but they were not, overall, exciting. What they lacked, over and over, was that amazing combination of focus, structure and balance that makes Cabernet great. We expect more-expensive Cabernet to have the brightness of sunshine streaming through a window and tastes that are as complex as a potable puzzle. That requires not just expertise but vision and risk. These were, on the whole, not wines of vision and risk.
We tasted too few Cabernets that would move us to gush, "Wow, if we paid $70 for this, we'd be happy because it's special and worth every penny." But there were a handful. One of our best of tasting, Antica, is owned by Italy's Antinori family. The winery made about 2,000 cases, which were distributed nationwide. Our other favorite, Duckhorn, is made in relatively large quantities: 11,782 cases, which were distributed nationwide. Both of these wines had us talking all night about their complexity, from hints of black olives on the nose to blackberries and earth on the finish. That's what fine Cabernet should do.
Bargains? Well, after weeks of shopping and tasting, we have to tell you that we wouldn't be looking for them in the aisles of high-end American Chardonnay and Cabernet. But there are plenty of values in many good wine shops. If you don't already have a trusted wine merchant, now is a fine time to find one because the best bargains today require a guide. But they are out there.

The school district serves Collier Township, Bridgeville Borough, Scott Township and Heidelberg Borough.
The school has an olympic-sized indoor swimming pool[4] which is open to the public three evenings a week. A small fee is charged to district residents and non residents.[5]
The school's on-site stadium was home to the professional soccer team Pittsburgh Riverhounds (2008-2012).[6][7]
Graduation rate[edit]
In 2010, the Pennsylvania Department of Education issued a new, 4 year cohort graduation rate. Chartiers Valley High School's rate was 96% for 2010.[8]
According to traditional graduation rate calculations:
Academic Achievement[edit]
In 2012, the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) ranked Chartiers Valley High School in the upper two-fifths of all Pennsylvania public high schools (263rd out of 676 high schools) based on their reading and math test scores.[12]
In 2010 the high school achieved AYP status. In 2009 the school was in Warning status due to chronic, low student achievement.[13]
- PSSA Results
- 11th Grade Reading
- 2010 - 73% on grade level (13% below basic). In Pennsylvania, 66% of 11th graders on grade level.[14]
- 2009 - 64% (17% below basic), State - 65%
- 2008 - 79%, State - 65%[15]

- 2008 - 55%, State - 39%[18]
College remediation[edit]
According to a Pennsylvania Department of Education study released in January 2009, 32% of Chartiers Valley School District graduates required remediation in mathematics and or reading before they were prepared to take college level courses in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education or community colleges.[19] Neighboring high schools range from 17% (Upper St. Clair School District) to 53% (City of Pittsburgh School District). Less than 66% of Pennsylvania high school graduates, who enroll in a four-year college in Pennsylvania, will earn a bachelor's degree within six years. Among Pennsylvania high school graduates pursuing an associate degree, only one in three graduate in three years.[20] Per the Pennsylvania Department of Education, one in three recent high school graduates who attend Pennsylvania's public universities and community colleges takes at least one remedial course in math, reading or English.
Graduation requirements[edit]
The Chartiers Valley School Board requires that a student earn 28 credits to graduate including: English 4 credits, Mathematics 3 credits, Science 3 credits, Social Studies 3 credits (American Cultures 2, World Cultures 1), Technology 1 credit, Health 1 credit (.5 credit ninth and tenth grade), Physical Education 1 credit (.25 credit each year), FLEX program 1 credit, Arts and Humanities 3 credits and Electives 8 credits. Additionally, students must score in the proficient or advanced levels on the PSSA or a local assessment in order to graduate.[21]
By law, all Pennsylvania secondary school students must complete a project as a part of their eligibility to graduate from high school. The type of project, its rigor and its expectations are set by the individual school district.[22]
By Pennsylvania School Board regulations, for the graduating classes 2016, Chartiers Valley High School students must demonstrate successful completion of secondary level course work in Algebra I, Biology, English Composition, and Literature for which the Keystone Exams serve as the final course exams. Students' Keystone Exam scores shall count for at least one-third of the final course grade.[23]
Dual enrollment[edit]
The high school offers a Dual Enrollment program. This state program permits high school students to take courses, at local higher education institutions, to earn college credits. Students remain enrolled at their high school. The courses count towards high school graduation requirements and towards earning a college degree. The students continue to have full access to activities and programs at their high school. The college credits are offered at a deeply discounted rate. The state offers a small grant to assist students in costs for tuition, fees and books.[24] Under the Pennsylvania Transfer and Articulation Agreement, many Pennsylvania colleges and universities accept these credits for students who transfer to their institutions.[25]
For the 2009–10 funding year, the school district received a state grant of $14,519 for the program.[26]
In 2010, the high school received a grant of $9,801, from Highmark Healthy High 5 School Challenge, which was used to purchase the SPARK Physical Education curriculum and training for grades 9–12.[27]
- Classrooms for the Future Grant
Chartiers Valley School Board received a grant from the PA Department of Education to purchase equipment to help reform the high school's core subjects instruction and to prepare students for future employment by using cutting-edge equipment and software. The district used the funds to purchase laptops for students, laptops for teachers, laptop carts and other digital equipment. The grant provided additional funding for a technology coach to instruct teachers in using the equipment to improve instruction. In 2006–07 and 2007–08 the district applied for, but was denied Classroom for the Future funding by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. In 2008-09, the district received $172,705.[28] Beginning in 2006, Pennsylvania's Classrooms for the Future program distributed more than $150 million for laptops, interactive boards and other high-tech tools to 543 Pennsylvania high schools. In 2009, the Classrooms For the Future funding program was terminated due to a deep state revenue shortfall.[29]
Awards and recognition[edit]
In 2007, Chartiers Valley High School's Art Program was awarded the Pennsylvania State Modern Language Association's Silver Globe Award. The School had previously been awarded a Bronze Globe Award in 2005.[30]
Also in 2005, Chartiers Valley's musical "Beauty and the Beast" won 5 awards at the 15th annual Gene Kelly Awards for Excellence in High School Musical Theatre.[31]

The Colts have been back in AA competition since the 2008 season. Coaching: For 20 years (circa 1978-1998), the Colts were known for their legendary coach Ed Schultz, who is now a Western Pennsylvania Hockey leader and was Chartiers Valley's first Hall of Fame Inductee in 2010. He is the only Chartiers Valley coach in history to guide a CV team of any sport to a state championship.[43][44]

The Chartiers Valley Soccer team has advanced to the PIAA finals once (2002),[50] has won the WPIAL championship a total of 4 times (1959, 1960, 1962, 2001) and were runners-up three times (1969,1973,2004).In addition, they have won their section 7 times (1969,1971,1973,1989,2001,2006,2008). Since 2001, the team has compiled a combined record of 119-52-12.[51] In that same time, they have made it to the WPIAL semifinals a total of six times.[52] Of those six times, they have continued through to the WPIAL championship twice, winning in 2001.In 2002, the team made it to the PIAA Championship where they lost 2–1. In this same time,30 players have been named All-Section, while 20 earned a place on the All-WPIAL team. Moreover, this span has produced 6 All-State players, 4 East Regional All-Americans, 2 Region II All-Americans and 2 National All-Americans (not including repeat winners and without information on the 2003 and 2004 seasons). This tradition has produced a total of nine professional players and three professional coaches.[citation needed]
The Chartiers Valley Girls Basketball team is a PIAA semi-finalist for the second season in a row (2012, 2013). Also in 2013, CV competed in its first WPIAL final, losing to Bethel Park (but DID qualify for the PIAA tournament).

In the fall of 2013, The Chartiers Valley High School Cross Country (led by Coach Poe) team posted its best record in the section ever at 4-4. In addition, there were some other bright spots from this season as well. First off, the sophomore class came out strong this year; as 4 of the top 7 runners were in 10th grade. This means that the team is looking good in years to come. The team posted a 3-5 record for the 2014 season.

League suspends Leafs' Hollweg for first two games of season
Updated: October 6, 2008, 5:57 PM ET
Associated Press
TORONTO -- Maple Leafs left wing Ryan Hollweg received an automatic two-game suspension Monday after collecting his third boarding or checking from behind major in a 41-game span.
The third penalty came in last Wednesday's 7-3 preseason loss at St. Louis, when Hollweg was assessed a boarding major and game misconduct.
Last season with the New York Rangers, Hollweg received checking from behind majors and game misconducts on Jan. 5 against Edmonton and Feb. 3 against Montreal.

The good Star Wars prequel series continues with Knights of The Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. You play as a Jedi (no relation to the original game's hero) who left the Order years ago after the war with Revan and Malak. During your absence, three new Sith Lords rose to power and purged the galaxy of nearly all Jedi. As the last known Jedi, you must reclaim your powers and take down the Sith before they finish what they started.
The Sith Lords looks and plays nearly identically to the first game - a deft turn-based combat system that looks and feels like you have real-time control over the dramatic action - which is just fine, since the first KOTOR was so satisfying. This time you start out wielding basic Force powers (there are 60 new powers and feats to choose from), but you still have to fight your way through a large chunk of the game with blasters and conventional swords before you get your hands on a more elegant weapon. You're gonna earn that lightsaber, pal.

"Very delicious!! I was not sure I would like a creamy based potato soup as growing up my mom always made it with a thin tomato base, which is very good too. I ommitted the cheese and used Lactaid whole milk in place of the milk and added onions diced and sliced and celery chopped and to get a little texture I also added a handful of instant mash..."

"If my hamburger had been thawed it truly would've been a quick meal :). Very tasty, even my picky husband said it was alright which in his language means it was delicious. We even froze the left overs for another night when we need an even quicker meal. Thanks for the Easy recipe, will definitely use it again :) Crazy Crafter"
"VERY EASY to make, and quick. I'm trying it tonight for me & my husband, he's picky so hopefully he'll like it. I've also added a length of bratwurst (whole)just for him since I thought it sounded good with the red wine vinegar in the sauce and all. If it is good I'll let you know :)"
"I usually cannot eat celery due to the strings getting caught in my teeth, so to find a recipe with cooked & baked celery intrigued me. I tried it two nights ago as a side with pork chops for me & my husband. It was very tasty, but I may have cooked it a bit too long because the cheese was a bit dry, I am thinking of trying it again with a little ..."
"This was extremely easy to make. My husband loves radishes, but I usually only like them in salads and then only sparingly. I found however that this recipe was similar in firmness to brocoli stems as if stir fried, but had a pleasant taste, a mix between fried cucumbers & a potato almost. We will have this again. I think now that radishes cou..."
"My husband did not like the bitter taste that the bread had, even though it was a slight taste, but I found it to be delicious made into french toast the next morning, I used cinnamon, nutmeg, 2 eggs, 1 tbs. vanilla extract & 1 tbs. of sugar (splenda) and dipped the bread on both sides and pan fried, it was delicious! And with margarine & apricot..."
